 Wonderful Star Wars titleDec 28, 1999
This latest Star Wars game for the Playstation, for several reasons, lives up to all of its hype. The two greatest aspects of The Phantom Menace are its gameplay and atmosphere. When you wield your lightsaber as Obi-Wan or Qui-Gon, you imagine yourself grasping the Jedi weapon; the dual shock controller rattles and vibrates with every precise slash, and jarring parry. You see as well as feel all the damage you inflict on your enemies. Also, the stunning music score by John Williams added to the high-quality sound effects and talented voice acting makes this game an unrivaled console experience for any Star Wars fan. Another factor that makes this game great is the combat (the analog joystick gives you fabulous control of your character). It is challenging and satisfying. You cannot simply hold down the attack button and watch your foes whither before you. You must carefully plan your means of approach and engagement (this gives the game extensive replayabilily). And yet the combat isn't too hard as to be frustrating. The rolling dodge is a simple and useful maneuver, and force push is very handy in a melee as well. Blasters are tricky at maximum range, but once you master them you'll be much more effective. Lightsabers can be used to dissect near by enemies or deflect unfriendly fire back to its source (you perform this blocking yourself and timing can be difficult, but it's well worth the effort). Another praise-worthy feature of this movie-based masterpiece is its color and design. The levels (especially the "Gardens of Theed" mission) are breathtaking. The expertly crafted vegetation and architecture greatly add to the beauty and enjoyment of this game. As with all games, TPM has its own set of shortcomings. The camera view is too high, and being directly above the character disallows the player a glimpse of up-coming challenges (this can be somewhat countered by jumping). Also, the idea of playing as non-Jedi characters was a poor one. As a Star Wars fan I purchased this game strictly for the lightsabers and Jedi, and if I want something different I can buy James Bond or Syphon Filter. Despite these few faults, The Phantom Menace is a riveting and enjoyable game that I highly recommend buying . If you are a Star Wars fan and love Jedi and lightsabers, then this game will hold you captive for hours on end.

Ultimate Jedi!Jan 28, 2000
I've read many negative reviews about this game, but when I got it and began playing it I found those reviews to be inaccurate. I think the levels are incredibly well designed, and the game play is very true to the movie. Although it is a bit difficult at times, it is without a doubt an addicting title. The ability to talk to other characters along your path makes the game play that much more realistic, and much more challenging. I give this game a definate 5 stars in every category. So do yourself a favor and purchase it now!

Very Fun GameAug 26, 2005

I've played this game many, many times. But unfortunately, it's one of those games that you will either love or hate, which you can tell by the reviews here and I love it.
This game is pretty lengthly, gives you a choice of things to say in response to questions and is overall fun, especially since you get to play the entire movie. I recommend this game to die hard fans, but like I said, don't be surprised if for some reason you don't like it. Some do, some don't. Simple as that

FANTASTIC!Nov 13, 1999
This game was FANTASTIC! I've always' wished to be Qui-Gon or Obi-Wan, and heres' the game that lets me do it! But, if you want any pod-racing, go get the Nintendo 64 game, because this hasn't got ANY in it. But over-all, its really cool. I got this for my birthday, and I couldn't stop playing it.

As fun and exciting as the movieAug 09, 2001
This game was incredible! Though I warn you before you play this, some of the levels takes a while to figure out and..(well not really a "while")..you just have to be patient. To be honest, it took me 3 months with no cheats or anything. It can be frustrating at times but you'll have fun. It's really awesome playing Jedis, Captian Panaka and Queen Amidala. I loved the lightsaber fights and the special effects...Careful with Thermal Detonators though...
